I have been on LeeDroid's ROM ever since it came out. And ive had root access fine for this entire time.
Today I wanted to boot into recovery using QuickBoot but it said I had no root access. Then when i try to open SuperSU it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Now how do i fix this? And how come all of a sudden i lost root access?

Boot into bootloader, then recovery, then flash SuperSU.
Thanks that did the trick.
Strange though of why I'd have to do that again randomly.

I rooted my wife's Inspire 4g using SuperOneClick and all went well...busybox and Superuser were installed on the phone. I enabled non-market apps and even installed a few but today I dl'd Titanium backup and attempted to backup her stuff so I could proceed with modded roms and the root permission was denied and Superuser is missing. I dl's root checker and there is no root or busybox now....any help would be appreciated
Thank you !!!
P.S. Can I just use SOC again to try and re-root the phone or is there something else that im missing going on?
Not sure if this will work, but it's worth a shot. Use ROM Manager to download and install the latest Super User (Download ROM>>Extras). If ROM Manager doesn't work either, you can just download the latest SU from my dropbox here. It's a .zip file that you flash in recovery mode.

OP, once you get Su on there, you may be able to get busybox on by way of titanium backup. It's my assumption that the two are separate entities... Getting Su doesn't automatically give you busybox, I don't think, but TiBU has an option for installing a "known working busybox," after you push its "problems" button, but you need to get Su on there first, I would think.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't SuperOneClick only provide temporary root? Once you reboot root is gone. Use acehack kit or bubbys simple one click for permanent root

You are correct. SOC on;y provides temp root. No S-Off is attained so no rom can be flashed...

I can confirm this 100%. Before I rooted my phone with the ace hack kit, I used soc to enable installing from unknown sources. It temp rooted my phone, also installing busybox and su. Once I rebooted my phone, it was as stock as can be again, with bb and su gone. This is normal for soc op, since it doesn't have the ability to perma root the phone.

just use hack kit or flash rooted rom after one click. hack kit is much better with more options and so easy now with 11
Set S-Off along with CWM and installed the 'official' ICS rom a while back and assumed I was rooted. However, just installed SetCPU and it told me I'm not! So, I installed ChainsDD Superuser from the marketplace and still no joy. Tried installing the ChainsDD SU binary (3.0.3.2) from recovery and SetCPU still says it can't get root access.
What am I not doing / doing wrong?

Are u sure you flashed a working Su file in recovery. Cuz I had same problem where it didn't flash properly and I didn't notice it saying error in recovery. Try downloading Su efgh zip again in recovery again reboot and download app root checker.

Uninstall su and the binaries then flash the su.zip through recovery found in the s-off/recovery/supercid/root guide

Thanks! I just re-checked the ChainsDD site and found there was a later version of su further down the list, with ICS specifically mentioned. Tried that and, bingo, it's now working
Good for you soldier. Glad to help. Don't forget tha latest firmware to flash for latest ics roms

Hello!
So here's the deal: yesterday I decided to try out CM10.1 on my Nexus S. Being my first time rooting this phone all went well and I managed to flash the rom mostly without any problems. But my main concern is that after running root checker I got a message that my device isn't properly rooted... I did it just because I tried using ES file explorer in its root settings in order to delete a gallery2.apk file in system, which resulted in an error.
It's strange because I flashed the superuser zip before the rom and as far as I know CM10.1 comes with SU installed in it initially... Otherwise the ROM works perfect.
Do I need to flash everything from the beginning, doing another factory reset/wiping the cache? So far I've tried just to flash the superuser.zip from recovery (running 6.0.2.5 CWM recovery as far as I remember) and it didn't appear to root the device, although it said it installed successfully in the recovery. It may be something to do with the recovery or SU version? Any help is much appreciated!

it's a problem about ES,
you should go to the settings and enable the root mode.

Yeah I know, tried that and ES said this feature cannot run on your phone... And the app doesn't appear in the superuser app either. Nothing does in fact. xD
I am having some difficulty rooting my One S after the jelly bean update. I was rooted prior to the update, but relocked and went back to stock for the OTA; now I'm getting the itch again, and wanted to root my phone, but I'm getting some strange issues with both supersu and superuser flashable zips.
I've unlocked the bootloader (again) and installed TWRP using Hasoon2000's toolkit. Everything went according to plan, so I carried on and pushed supersu using the toolkit. This is where the fun begins. TWRP reports a successful install, supersu is there, but I don't actually have root. It appears that I do, supersu asks for permission, but any root requiring actions fail.
I've tried flashing superuser, and supersu from the XDA thread, but to no success. Root Checker comes back successful too. The superuser.apk is in /system/app, but there is no su binary in /system/app, which is where I thought it lived.
Installing busybox or updating the su binary with supersu cause the device to hang for a second, then restart. Updating the binary using the superuser app reports success, but nothing happens.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I just can't see what and I'm more than a little puzzled. Anyone have any ideas/seen anything like this before?
I've found the su binary, it's in /system/xbin/ Is this normal? I thought it should go in /system/app, or is that just the supersu apk?
Had same problem. Download superuser zip from superuser home page. Flash in recovery and it will work
There is an issue with SuperSU 0.99 app so you need to flash superuser instead

Hello,
I have rooted my phone, flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 and CM 10.2 with the All-in-One Toolkit. Everything worked fine.
Then I installed the SUPER SU App from Chainfire and updated the Binary on the "normal" way. After that I uninstalled the app.
Today I wanted to install a newer version of TWRP. I used the GooManager. The download worked fine and the device rebooted. I can use the phone and I get into Bootloader but when I want to go to Recovery the device reboots and reboots....
My first thought was, that I don't have Root anymore because I uninstalled the Super SU App from Chainfire and I don't get any notifications when I start a app that needs root and the built in Super SU in the settings doesn't make any logs since some days. But Root Checker says that my device is rooted and for example Titanium Backup works fine although it's not in the list of apps with Super SU.
What can I do? Maybe trying to install the recovery with the GooManager again or new Rooting and Recovery installing with the Toolkit?
Sincerely,
May be you should flash back twrp 2.6.0.0 which was working for your phone and reinstall super su
I tried to root without the toolkit. I followed all steps and everything worked fine. But when the device rebooted after rooting I stopped in the bootscreen. I'm able to get into CM and use the phone without problems, but now the root is completely gone!
Can anyone help? I really don't know what to do now.
Edit: So, after rooting I have a Super SU app installed, but it's not able to update and not working...
Can you try with the twrp from this link:
http://flemmard.net/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville-selinux.img
and root again

Okay, thanks. Wich root shall I try? With flashing the SuperSu with the recovery or with getting rooted over PC?
Thanks again.

I flashed the Recovery and the SuperSU. The recovery is installed but there is no root. But I can't uninstall the installed SuperSU apk from the old try of rooting that went wrong. I only can deactivate it. Should I do this and try flashing the SuperSU.zip again?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Edit: Problem solved with the newer SuperSU version.
